Prague's Old Town is a captivating historic district, where cobblestone streets wind through a maze of medieval and Baroque architecture. The heart of the city, it boasts the iconic Old Town Square with the astronomical clock, charming cafes, and vibrant markets. Lined with colorful buildings and adorned with intricate facades, this area is a living tapestry of Czech history and culture, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in its timeless charm.


Lesser Town, also known as Malá Strana, is a picturesque district in Prague nestled beneath Prague Castle. Characterized by its narrow, winding streets and baroque architecture, it exudes a tranquil and charming atmosphere. St. Nicholas Church and Wallenstein Garden are notable landmarks, and the area offers stunning views of the Vltava River. With its historic allure and relaxed ambiance, Lesser Town is a delightful escape in the heart of Prague.

The Charles Bridge, a magnificent stone masterpiece spanning the Vltava River, is a symbol of Prague's rich history. Adorned with baroque statues and offering panoramic views of the city and Prague Castle, this iconic bridge connects the Old Town with Lesser Town. Dating back to the 14th century, the Charles Bridge is a pedestrian haven, inviting strolls amid a blend of historic charm and breathtaking vistas, making it a timeless gem in the heart of Prague.

Bethlehem Chapel (Betlémská kaple)
The chapel was founded in 1391 for Czech sermons, and Jan Hus preached here from 1402 to 1413. In 1786 it was largely destroyed, and it was not until the 1950s that a replica of the original structure was built using the remains of the original walls. Today the space serves as a ceremonial hall for the Czech Technical University. In the adjacent Preacher's House, an exhibition about the history of the chapel is located on the first floor and includes the residential quarters where Master Jan Hus lived.
